Wait wait, if you did an audiobook of Mogworld, does that mean you will do an audiobook on Jam? I want the audibook version of jam (if there will be), if I already read Jam then I wouldn't buy an audiobook version as I prefer experiencing a story only once.

Ole Amazon sent it off to Amsterdam today, huzzah.But wait, can you guarantee me that there will, in fact, *not* be a jampocalypse in my lifetime? Because if you can't I'd rather return the book now as I prefer not to experience science fiction stories in real life.

Got it in the mail and just finished it up. It was pretty great, loved X's constant transparent denial. It all sort of wrapped up a bit fast, though? I was losing track of who'd died towards the end, there. And what exactly was the point of Angela? In case you decided to adapt it into a found-footage film? Still, great fun. I stopped during the agent's introduction to ponder "wouldn't it make more sense if she was X, and he was-" and then had my startlingly specific and asinine inquiry swiftly answered. If his name was Xavier, so help me...

I think Angela was there to parody the found-footage movie genre, illustrating A) how ridiculous it would be to actually behave that way in a life or death situation, and B) why the videos always look like such crap (Angela being a 'Journalist' when really she was a journalism student.

It's an interesting story, but a certain point kept making me not enjoy it that much. So if you don't mind some constructive criticism...

Attention: I might accidentally spoil something for someone with the following comments, even though I reference no actual events, so be warned.

I understand how stupid characters can be very funny, and I understand what the point of such a character is, I even understand said character in this book.

My problem is when an abjectly face-palmingly stupid character.... is the narrating protagonist. The character I'm instinctively projecting into and identifying with, which results in a odd feeling of anger at myself for the stupidity.

It felt like a cutscene in a game where the character does something retarded you wouldn't have done had you been in control.

My personal completely non-professional advice is to have characters that despite their flaws, they are not *that* stupid (Recently read the similarly themed "This Book is Full of Spiders" by David Wong, and think he pulls it off there), or, alternatively, to filter the information through the character's stupidity, so the reader doesn't see the decision as stupid at first. A final alternative is to go the Discworld route and have an omniscient narrator, which creates a disconnect between reader and character.

I'm guessing the intention is to create the same effect from movies where the protagonist walks into the basement while the audience yells for her not to do it, but books aren't like movies, the mental connection is probably stronger, so yeah, it can backfire.

In any case, my opinion. I liked the novel, and the idea of the Jam is very interesting.

Red jam of daybreak it eats us at eveningit eats us at midday and morning it eats us at nightit eats and it eatswe shovel a grave in the bread there we won't lie too crampedA Jam lies in the wooden it plays with his victims..it devours.

Decided to buy Jam today as well. I'm not liking Mogworld as much as I hoped I would, but then again, I'm only 2 and a half hours in, and it sounds like Part 2 is supposed to be the better half. Being a loyal fan, I'll push on to the end. On the other hand, the first few pages of Jam are pretty hilarious. I'm excited to read it.
